While ahoffman's idea works, it lists all files and only greps out those with a December date. Here's a more straightforward way :

# assume today is 4/17/02. this means that 12/1/01 was
# 137 days ago. also, we know that 12/31/01 was 107 days
# ago. the find command allows you to filter results based
# upon modification time with the '-ctime' option.
#
# try the following command :

find / -ctime +107 -ctime -137

This command will find every file (starting in the directory / but recursing onward) that was modified between 107*24 hours ago (12/1/01) and 137*24 hours ago (12/31/01) and print out the filename to the screen.

ahoffman is right. 'man find' will tell you a lot about the command and how it can be used.

Note : I'm assuming you want to find files modified (not created) between 12/1/01 and 12/31/01. If you want to do the search for files modified between 12/1/00 and 12/31/00 you should add the proper number of days (365) to each date...
